Ben-Hur: Prince of Jerusalem by ranger613

I like Ben Hur: Prince of Jerusalem. In hearing you guys talking about the chariot race, I'm thinking how a similar scene would be done today, undoubtedly CGI all over the place. Product would not be nearly as cool. CGI has it's uses, but seems like now it's just the easy way out to minimize construction and make-up.

Exactly, in the original chariot race you knew everything happening was real, making it more shocking when someone was pulverized by a chariot. Not the same impact as watching something obviously cgi where you accept it as fake from the get go.
 
Final release trailer:

WOWZERS!!!

I am so in love with your poster!!! Fantastic!!!
Very cool trailer too.

I am so pumped to watch this! :)
 
^^ Pretty damned awesome epic style poster. Couple of points though:

- The way you've stretched the image top and bottom is very obvious. Have you got a link to the original image?
- The font you've used for POJ is too modern and is clashing with the classic stylings of the rest of the text. Try something else perhaps?

Love the trailer too! (I wish I could do trailers :()

Thanks TM2YC ! I agree with your points-- had a hard time finding matching font.. I've attached the original image here, and I think a higher res one can be found at my tumblr page (linked below)

And I'd love to help you make trailers (mine are not great but I hope they get the job done!)
Thanks man
 
It ain't perfect but this was the best I could do...

TM2YC, thanks so much!! Looks amazing, I made two versions of the poster which I hope fit the font better; 1)

I still have to center the text, etc, but was just wondering which one looked better..
 
50th Anniversary should probably be removed, right? Considering that was five years ago? Cool trailer by the way.
 
I prefer Version One.:)

Also I agree, if the 50 Anniversary could be removed, that would be better.

But still.... very EPIC! :thumb:

Thanks guys, really appreciate the good feedback. I tried blotting out the 50th anniversary, but them it got too obviously noticeable from even the small poster that I think I'll have to leave it (my poster editing skills are limited lol)-- the version I edited was the 50th anniversary restoration anyway.. I dunno.

Cheers my friends
 
Here is a copy of TM2YC's pic with the 50th Anniversary text removed for you, hope it helps ^_^

 
^ Great work! :)

This is why I love this Forum!!! :love:
 
Wow [MENTION=28185]SmellySkunk[/MENTION] thanks man!! That's so awesome. Cheers man [emoji3]
 
No worries, glad to be of service. Just wish I had the talent and time to do what you guys do ^_^
 
Are we aware of the awful comment left on the review page? Why would someone feel the need to leave a score of 1 just because they have a problem with the way Ranger chose to tell the story? On top of that, they DIDN'T CHOOSE TO WATCH THE EDIT!

This should be considered a sort of violation or something. We come here to share our ideas, not have someone crap over it because they are a worshiper of the movie.

Thanks man.. I'm like its fine if u hate the edit, but why would you review it if you never even watched it?
 
Hopefully you can get it taken down. I'd hate that your work and the level of viewership on the edit could be effected by some jerk.

Infuriated at the moment over this.
